    “A good cure for a sprained ankle is to pour cold water over it...”

    Share Share Post
    A good cure for a sprained ankle is to pour cold water over it, and to put a cold water bandage on it or to rub bit with goose seam.
    A cure for a sting of a nettle is to rub it with a green dockin and it would take the pain away.
